Since I now have You Tube on my flat screen, it so much more enjoyable to watch movies, but the incessant ads kept me away. I wanted to see if they had Oklahoma, they do, and many other first rate movie musicals or adaptations from Broadway. So I was elated to start shelling out $13.00 a month in order to watch EVERYTHING without ads. Which means there are a great many films I can watch that I will no longer be able to either from my local video store, about to close, or from the already closed Netflix. How I miss its red envelopes coming through the mail.
Last night I ran into a video of Fred Pfening giving a presentation on the history of Sells Bros Circus to a group of people in what I thought was a CHS convention but, I think was a local group. Very enjoyable learning more about the Sells Bros. They had what must have been one of the longest big tops ever raised -- even longer than old classic early Vargas under a February rain in Northern California (LOL)
And then the words: THE BEST CIRCUS appeared. Which might that be? Came a You Tube showing a group of highly trained, highly accomplished elephants executing an impressively smooth series of various maneuvers to the most fantastic score, more like a soundscape. A quiet score, sounding like what one of my favorite musicians, Paul Hardcastle, could have composed. The entry says six years ago, which would mark the last "circus" edition of Ringling, but I do not recall hearing anything like that music when I saw the show the year before. ??? You Tube editing?
Tonight I am going to watch Oklahoma with my new flick friend, You Tube
